Such undertaking may be accepted without reference to the financial ability of such person to make repayment. Section 13.4: Indemnification not Exclusive. The indemnification provided by the Article shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification may be entitled under any agreement, vote or disinterested trustees, or otherwise, both as to action in his or her official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office, and shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a trustee, officer, employee or agent, and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such person.
